President Myers launches new video series

K-State President Richard Myers has created a new video series, Minutes with Myers, to host unique conversations that are central to the university’s values. Minutes with Myers will discuss some of the most relevant topics in higher education with K-State experts.

The first episode features discussion about diversity and inclusion with Bryan Samuel, chief diversity and inclusion officer, and Adrian Rodriguez, associate vice president for student life, diversity and multicultural student affairs, in front of the Beach Museum’s “Fronteras/Frontiers” exhibition. The exhibit, which closed April 12, explored the complexity of cultural, political and physical borders through the work of two nationally recognized artists, Artemio Rodriguez and Fidencio Fifield-Perez.

In the video, Myers explains how the Beach provides a unique collegial atmosphere, where people can look at one object and have diverse opinions. He says that students not only learn about the object they are discussing but about each other.

Kansas State University recently hired Samuel, who started in March, and Rodriguez, who started in December 2017, and they are working together to strengthen the university and the KSUnite movement. Watch the video to hear where each of these influential Kansas State University leaders think the university is headed and how K-Staters can improve the family atmosphere to help all students succeed.

Thank you, President Myers, for recognizing the importance of diversity and inclusion. The appointment of the Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer is so critical to our success. This conversation was very helpful as Mr. Samuel and Mr. Rodriguez begin their work together. Kudos to the team!
